| | The inference that the origin of the cultivated plants is multiple, in most cases, and that more than one, often many separate elementary forms of the same species must originally have been taken into cultivation, throws much light upon many highly important problems of cultivation and selection. | | | LAMARCK The origin of species is an object of inquiry. | | | I shall try to depict them to you in the first place as they are seen in [16] nature and in culture, leaving the question of their origin to a subsequent experimental treatment. |

| | This view contrasts with the single origin hypothesis, which holds that modern Homo sapiens evolved from a single, geographically localised, ancestral hominid population, whose descendants ultimately replaced all other species of hominids over the course of tens of thousands of years without interbreeding or subspeciation. | | | Nevertheless, proponents of multiregionalism such as Wolpoff believe the molecular data can be reconciled with the multiregional origin hypothesis, and may even support it. | | | For instance, in 2001, a team of Chinese scientists wrote: "all Y-chromosome samples from China, with no exception, were originally derived from a lineage of African origin. |

| | Quote Mine Project: Gould, Eldredge and Punctuated Equilibria Quotes |
| | Species are stable entities with very brief periods of fuzziness at their origin (although not at their demise because most species disappear cleanly without changing into anything else). | | | We argued that two outstanding facts of the fossil record -- geologically "sudden" origin of new species and failure to change thereafter (stasis) -- reflect the predictions of evolutionary theory, not the imperfections of the fossil record. | | | On the other hand, it has been suggested that this quote mine may be simply intended to attack the out-of-Africa model because young-Earth creationists prefer an origin of humans in the Tigris-Euphrates area of Iraq based on their reading of where the Garden of Eden was located according to the Bible. |

| | CCCU : Resource Center On Human Origins: A Survey |
| | As the human genome is better understood, the total number of common patterns found between species may require an unreasonably large founding population, implying that this transspecies similarity has other than ancestral origin. | | | Until about 150 years ago, the subject of human origins was almost exclusively the domain of religion. | | | For example, the institution of monogamous marriage, the origin of sin and the resultant corruption and mortality of mankind, are all grounded in Gods interaction with a single male-female pair of human beings, from whom all mankind are descended. |

| | Origins |
| | This is microevolution, a change in gene frequencies of a population without speciation (the origin of a new species); microevolution is very important to generate local adaptations to a variable environment, but has little to do with the mechanisms by which one species changes into another. | | | This indicates that whatever differences exist, they are of recent origin. | | | All paleoanthropologists agree that such local evolution had to occur in at least one place, but the argument about the origins of modern groups of humans centers on what happened next. |

| | Origin of the Species- Chapter VIII Hybridism |
| | Hybrids from two species which are very difficult to cross, and which rarely produce any offspring, are generally very sterile; but the parallelism between the difficulty of making a first cross, and the sterility of the hybrids thus produced--two classes of facts which are generally confounded together--is by no means strict. | | | Hybrids, however, are differently circumstanced before and after birth: when born and living in a country where their two parents can live, they are generally placed under suitable conditions of life. | | | Hybrids, on the other hand, have their reproductive organs functionally impotent, as may be clearly seen in the state of the male element in both plants and animals; though the organs themselves are perfect in structure, as far as the microscope reveals. |

| | Article: Does Evolution have any Religious Significance? |
| | Six arenas in which evolution may have significance for Christian theism are discussed: the claim that evolutionary theory is intrinsically atheistic; the role of chance; the origin of life; the origin of species; the origin of humankind; and the problem of pain, suffering, death and the Fall. | | | The origin of life is therefore marked by striking scientific ignorance. | | | As a Christian I accept the authority of Scripture in all matters relating to faith and conduct, and I believe that the early chapters of Genesis provide us with a vital theological account of the origins and purposes of humankind, an account which is seminal for our understanding of the rest of the Bible. |

| | New and old lip-ferns of Oregon |
| | The fact that particular species of ferns have originated through hybridization is usually not mentioned in standard floristic references, but an outstanding exception is the recently published Flora of North America, Volume 2 (1993). | | | One might as well ask, "Is the Pope Catholic?" Ferns are notorious for their propensity to develop "hybrid complexes," in which species cross-fertilize in multiple combinations and the hybrids establish true-breeding sexual or asexual populations. | | | In this volume, which covers North American pteridophytes and gymnosperms, there are charts showing species' relationships within many genera, citing numerous hybrids which may be sterile, sexually fertile, or fertile by asexual means. |

| | New Fossil Study Rejects "Eve Theory" And Supports Diverse Ancestry Of Modern Humans |
| | The study, by U-M anthropologist Milford H. Wolpoff and colleagues, is one of just a few to base its controversial conclusion about the origin of the human species on a comparison of actual human fossils---early modern and archaic fossil skulls from around the world. | | | Other scientists, including Wolpoff and colleagues Hawks, Frayer, and Hunley, maintain that there is little evidence that a small group originating in a single geographic region replaced the entire population of early humans. | | | The genetic evidence has always been unclear, Wolpoff and colleagues note, because different genes support different theories: mitochondrial genes support replacement theory while nuclear genes support the development of an older, worldwide species of human ancestors. |
